I've read in a lot of places the Casino may be the perfect rhythm guitar and I have to agree. This axe may be my guitar soul mate. I know that's crazy talk here on the TDPRI, but I'm a rhythm player and a singer and the super light body is awfully nice on the ol' back. Thanks for the help guys. Let me ask one more question, where did you apply the nail polish to fix the bridge buzz? Thanks.
The whole thing rattles, but most of it is because the saddles don't have enough pressure on them pushing down. Soooo, put a bit where the saddles meet the bridge on the bottom and a tiny bit on the screws where they meet the saddle. Or use beeswax. Or get an aftermarket bridge.

I love that hollow body too.
